of America in the War of the Rebellion, and in other wars, buried 
in the city of Portsmouth, N. H., and in the neighboring towns of 
Greenland, New Castle, Newington, and Rye, May 30, 1907" —

General Lee surrendered his army to General Grant at Appo- 
mattox, Virginia, April 9, 1865. 



All comrades, relatives and friends, are requested to notify 
the Compiler, by letter, of any errors found herein, or in the "Print- 
ed Record, 1907," and information to complete any imperfect rec- 
ord will also be welcomed — for insertion in a new edition of "The

THE NATION'S DEAD. 

1861- 1865. 



Four hundred thousand men, 

The brave — the good — the true, 
In tangled wood, in mountain glen, 
On battle plain, in prison pen. 

Lie dead for me and you ! 
Four hundred thousand of the brave 
Have made our ransomed soil their grave, 

For me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and you ! 



Up many a fortress wall 

They charged — those boys in blue- 
'Mid surging smcke, and volleyed ball 
The bravest were the first to fall ! 

To fall for me and you ! 
These noble men — the nation's pride^ 
Four hundred thousand men have died. 

For me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and vou ! 



In many a fevered swamp. 

By many a black bayou. 
In many a cold and frozen camp 
The wearj' sentinel ceased his tramp, 

And died for me and you ! 
From Western plain to ocean tide 
Are stretched the graves of those who died 

For me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and you ! 

On many a bloody plain 

Their ready swords they di-ew, 
And poured their life-blood, like the rain, 
A home — a heritage to gain, 

To gain for me and you ! 
Our brothers mustered by our side ; 
They marched, and fought, and bravely 
died. 

For me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and you ! 



In treason's prison-hold 

Their martyr spirits grew 
To stature like the saints of old ; 
While, amid agonies untold. 

They starved for me and you ! 
The good, the patient, and the tried, 
Four hundred thousand men have died, 

For me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and you ! 

A debt we ne'er can pay 

To them is justly due ; 
And to the nation's latest day. 
Our children's children still shall say, 

"They died for me and you !" 
Four hundred thousand of the brave 
Made this our ransomed soil their grave, 

For me and you ! 

Good friend, for me and you !

GEORGE WASHINGTON STORER, 

Rear Admiral, U. S. Navy. 



1 789-1864 



It is related in Brewster's "Rambles about Portsmouth." ist series, pages 254 
and 266, that during Washington's visit to Portsmouth in 17S9, he called Tuesday 
forenoon, 3rd November, on Mrs. Tobias Lear, the mother of his private secretary, 
Col. Tobias Lear, then living near the east end of Hunking street, and "in the south- 
west parlor he was introduced to and cordially greeted every member of the family— 
the venerable mother, her children, and her grandchildren." 

With the other grandchildren a babe was presented, son of Samuel Storer, a dry 
goods merchant of Portsmouth, then residing in the same house, "who had been 
christened 'George Washington'. The President places his hand gently upon the in- 
fant's head, and expresses the wish that he may 'be a better man than the one whose 
name he bears' ". 

As the name of this child — Rear Admiral George Washington Storer, U. S. 
Navy — is proudly borne by Storer Post, it is particularly worthy of remembrance 
that he is one of the very few men of whom it could be said "that they have thus been 
under the hand and received the personal blessing of our country's father." 



I Navy Department, 

1 Washington, D. C, Jan. 13, 1864. 
The Department announces to the Navy and Marine Corps, the death of Rear 
Admiral George W. Storer. He died at his residence in Portsmouth, N. H., on the 
morning of the 8th inst., after an honorable career in the Navy of nearly fifty-five 
years. Rear Admiral Storer was correct in his department, attached to his profession, 
and devoted to his country. As an officer in the Navy he has served faithfully, and 
has filled with credit many important positions both ashore and afloat. 

As a mark of respect to his memory, it is hereby directed that at the Portsmouth, 
N. H. Navy Yard the flags be hoisted at half-mast and thirteen minute-guns be fired 
at meridian on the day after the receipt hereof. 

GIDEON WELLES, 

Secretary of the Navy.
